If you haven't heard, tomorrow is Black Friday. For stores across the U.S., it is the most successful day of the year. I'm not entirely certain how this started, but I enjoy getting wonderful and unexpected deals on stuff I really want but can't justify paying full price for.
In an effort to make your holiday shopping a little bit easier, I've compiled a list of the best deals across several stores. If you're looking for a console, I highly recommend checking out Walmart and BestBuy tonight and tomorrow.
